Stating the obvious but only at the end of the season will we really know after all the usual factors such as having a good run then the dip in form, injuries, a bit of good fortune and a bit of bad luck etc.
We are so unpredictable at the moment who can say what we will do come the end of the season,it could be extremely good or pathetically bad or anywhere in between.
On recruitment
I think the process when considering players is they are in to do a job.
The job will be team specific as each coach will have a certain way he wants his team to play and this will be the main focus with the occasional tweak factor depending on the conditions and opposition.
It comes down to can they do the job they were signed to do for the team most of the time taking into consideration that every player will have the occasional howler.
If they can't then you ask why not, is it something that can be fixed by changing a few things round without having to reinvent the wheel to make the club fit the player.
If they still can't do the job either because they are not good enough or they just can't fit into the team then they would have to be replaced because it would mean that not only were they not playing very well for themselves but the team as a whole would be obviously negatively affected.
Where some of the players are at the moment in this situation I think is still work in progress but the BOD, KH and the rest of the coaching staff will be aware of what is going on and if necesary make the changes if required, they think too much of the club to do anything else.
There is only so much you can do mid season so I don't expect anything radical anytime soon.
It may just be getting some of the players back and getting the right blend and way of playing.
In spite of the obvious dip in form and recent poor play nevertheless having played everybody and just starting the second half of the season we are still near the top end of the table so if we could get it right then we will be in with a shout.
If not then I'm sure most if not all of us are battle hardened enough with watching the Fax over the years to be able to live with it.
Come on the FAX not over yet.
aye I agree ross. And over the last few weeks thats exactly what you've been!!
